Tormented and ultimately killed by her sadistic husband Alaric, Lady Elowen opens her eyes to find herself transported back to her seventeenth year. Determined to alter her doomed fate, she rejects Alaric's marriage proposal and volunteers to wed Lord Cassian, a slumbering general whom the kingdom has left for dead.
Settling into the gloomy Duskmoor manor, Elowen tenderly tends to Cassian while secretly fortifying the castle against political enemies. Unbeknownst to her, Cassian has already recovered from his trance, silently falling in love with his devoted new wife while waiting for the perfect strike against her past tormentors.
